What the hell did Lenin and Mussolini have to do with each other?  For that matter, we don't actually know how far Lenin favoured government intervention.

That's why I questioned the validity of this test. Amusing, but hardly something to take seriously.

You are a moderate populist. You believe that the government is the primary tool for solving problems so long as the government stays within certain boundaries such as democracy. Most major parties in developed countries, including the American Republican and Democratic parties, are moderately populist.

It has almost 90 questions, and you can be conservative and get a moderate populist score since this has nothing to do with your political wing.  It has to do with how much do you support the government intervention in your life.

I think Payne's the one who added the stuff about Lenin and Mussolini.

You are a moderate. You believe in selective government intervention. Sometimes, you believe, the government is the solution, while at other times you consider it to be the problem. You tend to analyze each situation in a pragmatic way to determine whether or not government intervention is necessary. In America, most traditional conservatives and hardcore liberals, despite their differences on many issues, are moderate in that they support a medium level of government control.

You are a nazi. You believe in selective extermination. Sometime you believe, death camps are the solution, while at the same time you believe Jews to be the problem. You tend to analyze each situation in the same way, kill now ask questions later.

Moderate, scored 44. Now I wonder what the really extreme results say.

Edit: I think this is a little bunk. I changed all my answers, and the opposite came out with a score of 55, still moderate.
Lol if you just switched your answers around, this is correct.

Surprising. I thought I was slightly more libertarian than that.

EDIT: Lol, same as Bub

You are a moderate libertarian. You believe that, by its nature, government control tends to do more harm than good. However, to maintain a certain level of order, you stop short of any anarchic beliefs. Moderate libertarian groups in the United States include the Republican Liberty Caucus, the Democratic Freedom Caucus, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Cato Institute.
